Yeah he doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed in interviewsIs Kelderman a bit dense? Serious question.
Okay, serious analysis now: Why did Kelderman close that?
Did Hatch just say that Hart was "trying for that third place"? Coz... eh... he (Hatch) seems to have forgotten about a few guys:
Sestriere thoMadonna di Campiglio has to bee one of the most useless MTFs around, at least Montevergine usually only gets used durning the first week.
Another race?Am i watching another race? It's a group with 1 aging GT winner. The pace has been barely fast enough to keep them awake all day.
Gods, i now really hope almeida wins the race to teach the others a lesson.
Yes, he came in over 1:30 later, looking at what is still to come tomorrow...McNulty missing from the maglia rosa group if I'm not mistaken.
McNulty missing from the maglia rosa group if I'm not mistaken.
He did, but a few seconds earlier did mention the ‘one second from the podium’ comment.
Classic "ladder" attack: Hindley goes, Almeida follows and lets down his guard. Kellerman then vaults over the top and into pink.Okay, serious analysis now: Why did Kelderman close that?
If this is the case, no one will attack at the Stelvio and everyone waiting for the last climb tmr.After Etna I thought weak field = chaos every mountain stage. Turns out its the opposite, everyone is terrified of going deep and cracking.
Well, the first part - the "one second from podium" is true - the other part... not so much. Didn't we see several of the riders from the break finish?
1'39" behind the maglia rosa.Not surprising in his first GT after never doing race longer than one week and longest was as a junior. Still very encouraged.
How far back was he?
